for some reason I love accident reconstruction episodes. specifically ones where someone "fell" down a staircase.
there are some really good arson ones which I can't find anymore.
also the "banned" episodes, I think one is a high school student from Texas who stole some heavy metals from chemistry class to poison one of her parents.
Weird. I've seen plenty where they explicitly state they won't be revealing the exact chemicals, methods, etc. , you'd figure they could've just included that though for all I know those episodes aren't on streaming now either. Admittedly while I've seen the series countless times it's legitimately just playing in the background when I watch it now so I'm half watching. Max comfy for me.

aye me too. I think now with search engines you can easily find out what chemicals/methods were used. Or maybe the information in the episodes was inaccurate.
The length is perfect imo. Some cases could easily be an hour but others would just be full of padding at an hour. For any case that's particularly intriguing you can look at more information after.

I think the bite mark analysis can be useful but it really relies on the person having distinctive teeth. There's some where a dude has a snaggle tooth and you can see it match up clear as day when they overlay the two bite marks. Issue is not everyone has something distinctive like that. 90% of the bites look exactly the same. It's still a useful piece of evidence but if it's all you've got your case is gonna be weak.
I think so too. There’s a episode where they use DNA from branch in the suspects truck to match it with a tree near the body. Sounds like total bullshit to me
One thing that blows me away is these murders that get caught almost always take these life insurance policies out the same week or in some cases days before killing the person. You'd think they would purchase it then months later do it though I guess if they had any kind of self control they wouldn't be killing people.

Could you make it accessible and entertaining? I'm not all that knowledgeable about computer forensics but my impression of it is that it wouldn't be very dramatic and would involve a lot of people talking about going through a lot of mundane stuff looking for small things out of the ordinary in code, hardware, etc.
true. What i meant to say is i'd be interested in seeing modern forensic files that shows what techniques are currently available to law enforcement. and their merit in court
>and their merit in court
Juries now expect DNA in virtually every case. It's actually become a problem with "reasonable doubt" being created in people's minds in very comprehensive cases because they don't have any DNA evidence to prove things conclusively.

It’s ok but not the same without Peter Thomas
>Is the reboot Forensic Files II as good?
Nah. It's still decent and watchable but you genuinely miss the narration from Peter Thomas imo.
Foreskin flies
I hate getting those.

What do you mean? The entire series is up on youtube, don't think it's missing any.
S06E05 is missing from the main channel. it's likely others are too.
Huh, so you're right however it took me two seconds to find a torrent. You can watch it if you want to.
Yep but it seems like some shows have been deemed too dangerous and they don't want to air them anymore.

Just imagine how many people were murdered from Visine before they figured that out.
I listen to the original series on Sirius' HLN channel
I'm addicted to morons convinced they can get away with murder
fav episodes - Planned murders. Hard to solve.
least fav episodes - prostitute/stripper gets murdered
My only complaint is the episodes are too short. They could easily be an hour.

a chemical called "luminol"
it lit up like a Christmas tree
i think bite mark analysis is fake and police often plant DNA and fingerprints in hard to solve murders

that wasn't the only evidence from that case, just the most unique aspect of it so they focused on that
animal DNA makes sense but idk about plant DNA
It was pretty compelling evidence imo. Also it was only part of their case which was quite comprehensive.
>take leaf from tree
>place in trunk
>OMG HE was at the MORDER scene
cops are such hacks it's unbelievable
Anyone seen Murder Tapes. It’s all body cam and camera surveillance footage. So most episode from 2018 and up since when body cams became a thing

....a life insurance policy of $100,000.

It was before you needed a license to collect leaves in the UK, people were just more trusting in general.

>israeli custom is the body must be buried in one day before sunset
I wonder which sneaky murderer came up with that "tradition"
i would love to see any modern shows that focus on computer forensics

>spray luminol in the bedroom
>"It just lit up like a Christmas tree."
The few cases where it later turned out they didn't do it or were convicted based on flimsy evidence dampens the enjoyment a little
agreed. one in a prison was extremely suspicious even from the episode
Which ones were those?
Picture This
Where the Blood Drops
Invisible Intruder
Marathon Man
